Jackson has honoured her promise to continue the North American tour later this year, and last night (May 1) issued a video to her fans to announce her return to the live stage. Watch the clip below.

The rescheduled tour kicks off in Lafayette, Louisiana on September 7, with the jaunt lasting until the final show in Atlanta on December 17. The name of the tour has also changed, with Jackson announcing that it will now go by the name ‘State of the World Tour’ – though the singer explained “it’s not about politics. It’s about people, the world, relationships, and just love.”
